Anyone else pre-order it? I think it's going to be awesome, read alot about it. I'm worried it could take over my life for a few weeks, never had that feeling with any other mmo.

If you don't know what it is, well it's a star wars mmo. Probably going to come out between october 11 and november 30th, and they are ahead of schedule so I'm thinking second half of october.

It's sort of a trilogy of the first and second KOTOR games, which were offline singleplayer. There isn't all that much info on it, as all the beta testers are on a tight non-disclosure agreement (apply for beta if your interested on their site). But what info there is is on their forums here: STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Information gathered on The Old Republic so far! (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=300223). And on their website at Star Wars: The Old Republic (http://www.swtor.com)

I'm probably going to be an imperial agent (empire), which is like a stealth meelee class. Mostly I'm looking forward to the PVP, and the crafting system might be surprisingly fun because it doesn't involve watching progress bars or grinding mats (you can send one of your companions to do it for you while you're asleep or at work).
